"I want to eat kelp, chicken, and pig's trotters..." These are what Li Zhisen smelled when he was squatting at someone's door.
The more I smell it, the hungrier I get, and the hungrier I get, the more I want to smell it.
Li Zhisen was so greedy that his mouth was watering, and he almost climbed over the wall to get in.
But he couldn't get in.
"Mom, why don't you buy meat? Other families have everything for the New Year, but we... hiccups~" Li Zhisen cried until he hiccuped, his face covered with snot and tears, looking ugly and sloppy.
"Why are you crying?" Zhang Hongmei couldn't stand it any longer. "There are still people in the village who can't even eat meat."
There are also many people in Guangyuan Village who are so poor that they cannot even afford meat.
In the past, Zhang Hongmei always made fun of others during the Chinese New Year. However, her family had lived a very comfortable life for the past 18 years with Li Xin's money. Every year, they bought new clothes for the two children and sold meat for them.
They never expected that this year their family would become so poor that they could barely afford to eat.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Li Zhisen cried with tears and snot.
"If you don't eat now, you won't even have these to eat." Li Jianping was a little annoyed by his son's crying and scolded him angrily.
“Wooooaaaaaaaaaaa——”
Li Zhisen, who was scolded, cried even more miserably. If you didn't know, you would think that there was child abuse in their family.
"I'm going to my uncle's house. There are delicious food there..." Li Zhisen has always been favored at home and can eat whatever he wants.
But this year, not only did they not have new clothes, they even had to get their quilts recently. Otherwise, they would have frozen to death this winter.
"It's New Year's Day, don't force me to slap you." Li Jianping's hand holding the chopsticks began to itch.
Really, such a good year, but it had to be made so unlucky because of Li Zhisen!
"He is not your uncle!" Zhang Hongmei was also unhappy. Which uncle would be so heartless?
Not only did he not lend them the money, but he also asked them to pay back the principal and interest.
I don’t know what they do as a couple, but they probably rely on He Beichen, right?
"Eat quickly, or you'll have to eat cold rice." Zhang Hongmei rarely coaxed her son. She was already furious because of the debt.
"Wow, wow, wow..." Li Zhisen picked up some food while crying.
The food was already a little lukewarm, and when I put it in my mouth, I felt cold inside.
"It's already cold..." Li Zhisen cried even more sadly, "I can't even have a hot meal... Wuuuuu..."
"It was you who insisted on running away just now." Zhang Hongmei rolled her eyes at Li Zhisen. "I'm telling you, let's have less contact with that family from now on."
They are not their family anyway!
Li Zhisen lowered his head and ate the food in his bowl intermittently, not knowing whether he heard it or not.
Li Xueping just ate her meal indifferently without saying a word.
For a while, the only sound that could be heard at the dinner table was the sound of chewing. Li Zhisen had a hard time eating, mainly because he disliked the bland soup and its tastelessness.
But it is undeniable that this is indeed one of the best meals they have had in the past year.
When their house was first robbed, the food they had was so pathetic!
After a long while, Zhang Hongmei put down her chopsticks and looked at Li Xueping.
"Xue Ping, Mom has asked someone to help you find a partner these days. Go and meet him/her tomorrow." Zhang Hongmei said.
Li Xueping: “!!!”
She raised her head suddenly and stared at Zhang Hongmei, "Mom, what do you mean?"
You actually found a blind date so quickly?
It seems that this matter has been brewing in Zhang Hongmei's mind for a long time...
"Didn't I tell you before that you should get married early so as to reduce the burden on the family?" The family has no money now, and Li Zhisen will not continue his studies after this semester.
Since I can't take the college entrance examination anyway, there's no point in reading this book.
"Reduce the burden... Who do you think I am? When have I ever added burden to the family?" These words made Li Xueping unhappy.
After she was reborn, she reads and reviews every day for this year's college entrance examination. If there is any burden, it is Li Zhisen!
You do nothing at home and don't even study hard. You're such a loser!
"You know the current situation at home, but don't worry, Mom will definitely find you a good one!" Zhang Hongmei said, "Your Aunt Liu found you a veteran from the next village. Although he's a little older than you, soldiers are definitely rich!"
He Beichen, a deputy regiment commander, can give a betrothal gift of 1,888. The veteran is older than He Beichen, so doesn’t he have more savings?
"I said I won't get married. I want to take the college entrance examination!" Li Xueping clenched her fists.
"I don't know what you're so stubborn about. The college entrance exam has been canceled. Where are you going to take it?"
"No..." Li Xueping was extremely anxious. According to her memory from her previous life, the news about the college entrance examination would not be released until September.
Then November is the time for the first examination after the resumption of the college entrance examination.
But even if I tell her now, Zhang Hongmei won’t believe it!
"Okay, it's settled. Go meet the person with your Aunt Liu tomorrow," said Zhang Hongmei.
"Mom, you can't..." Li Xueping became anxious, "Dad, I'm only nineteen!"
"Well, I agree with your mother on this matter." Li Jianping said with a sullen face, "At the age of nineteen, all the girls in our village are mothers."
Li Xueping: “…”
hateful!
Her parents are such stupid people that they even sold their own daughter!
"Mom, you really disappoint me." Li Xueping said coldly, then went into her room and slammed the door loudly.
"Tomorrow, you'd better go with Xue Ping, otherwise she will run away halfway." Li Jianping said.
"Know."
…
During one Spring Festival Gala, after seeing Sanmao's phone automatically shut down, the family went back to their rooms to rest with some reluctance.
Because this vacation is not very long, He Beichen also plans to go back to his hometown to pay homage to his parents when he comes back.
He comes every year.
"Beichen, I'll go with you tomorrow." Last time, Li Xin was not feeling well so she couldn't go with them. This year, she also wanted to go to her hometown with He Beichen to visit her parents-in-law.
"It's a little far." He Beichen knew that Li Xin was afraid of the cold and didn't really want to take her.
"It doesn't matter. What daughter-in-law doesn't visit her parents-in-law?"
"Okay." Seeing his wife's insistence, He Beichen agreed. In fact... he also wanted to bring Li Xin to see his parents. "Then we will try to come back early."
"Um."
